Over the next few weeks, the class would be engaged in various orientation conversations, from understanding Ashesi’s Honour Code to thriving in the University’s rigorous learning environment. Proud parents John and Esinam have shared many pieces of advice—so many, Nuna says, that she could turn them into a book—including asking Nuna to do her best to find her bearings quickly.  

Nuna indeed took her first days at Ashesi in her stride, becoming so familiar with the campus that she was giving tours to other members of the class who arrived a few days after she did. Despite being more inclined to keep to herself, she is trying to come out of her comfort zone and meet as many people as possible in her first few weeks on campus. She is also eager to see how she can carve out her own path and make the best of the University’s learning opportunities.

“I hope they will uphold the University’s reputation and internalise its values,” shared John, reflecting on the years ahead for Nuna and her 405 classmates.
